Wi-Fi assist on iPhone, iPad

If you’re on iOS 8 and don’t want your internet experience to lag, the new OS version coming soon may just have a solution for you.

9to5Mac reports that the iOS 9 beta that’s available for developers includes a Wi-Fi assist feature. This feature allows your iOS device to detect when Wi-Fi is bad and shifts the connection to mobile data. You can also opt to turn this feature off from Settings.
